When buying a quality, elegant and resistant shirt, experts recommend that the garment be made with 100% natural material, i.e. cotton, linen, silk or wool.
Although there are many types of shirts, most of them classic they have a detail in common that perhaps you have overlooked until now or, if you have noticed it, perhaps you have never realized what its true function is.
Virtually everyone carries in their own cuffs with two buttonsnext to each other following a horizontal line, e single buttonhole. At first you might think it’s a replacement button, however, its function seems to be something else.
At least that’s what Joe X Style claims in his TikTok account, which ensures that this matter of the two buttons it has to do with the clock. The clothing expert points out that the watch should be placed on the arm opposite to the dominant one, i.e. left-handed on the right wrist and right-handed on the left.

The truth is that this possibility of button the shirt cuff differently on each wristDepending on where you wear your watch, it has its advantages, as it will no doubt squeeze you less and feel more comfortable.
“Ever wonder why you have two buttons and only one buttonhole on your shirt sleeve? And it’s not a spare in case you drop one!” begins Joe. “Your dominant arm, in my case I’m right, the button should be narrower, and your non-dominant arm, in my case my left, the button wider. This is because you wear the watch on your less dominant arm,” says l ‘fashion expert.
Although this is very simple advice and now that you know it it may seem very obvious to you, it is very likely that you have never wondered what those two buttons do and the truth is, if you usually wear a shirt and a clock, knowing that you can give more play to one punch than another can be very helpful.
